Output Hunt

Output Hunt is a code-output prediction challenge that tests participants’ ability to read, understand, and trace code to identify the correct output. The questions will be based on basic C, C++, Python, and HTML, making the event accessible to participants with fundamental programming knowledge. Each question will have four answer options, and team members can discuss the question before selecting their final answer.
